Little Green Giant Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 (edited) Hi all,I just wanted to tell you about a blog i have just started writing for, 'MOTUM'. It was started by one the the writers and founders of 'Just Driven', Darryl Grant) and is bound for goodness! The idea stemmed from missing his old blog, Justdriven. Hopefully by combining the UK 'scene' and the US 'scene' (where Darryl lives) we can make a great blog of interest to all different people.A little info on Motum, which means 'to move' in LatinThis blog like the many before and the many that will come after is an automotive blog. It is a Collective of sorts, combining many areas of automotive enthusiasts, we are all from creative backgrounds including artists, designers and photographers. This blog will be the outlet for our perception of automotive culture and everything in-between.The blog is still in the initial forms at the moment, but we are adding to it everyday and hope to have quite a few regular followers in the near future. So to the blog... We will be covering all manner of things, from shows, here in Europe and over the pond in the States, to just cars we find and like. Darryl regularly attends 'cars and coffee', a meet in Irvine, US held on Saturday mornings. This meet is all ways packed full of Performance and ultra rare cars from ferrari F50's to classic fords. I will also be attempting to pull out any cars that grab my eye from forums etc and try and get photo-shoots to post on the blog. So hopefully there will be loads to look at each day! It would be great if you could add the blog to your favorites and keep coming back to look. It would also be awesome if you could spread the news. please feel free to post this on any forums you are on. it really means a lot to us to share the love with everyone.anyway, click on the link below to see the blog, feel free to leave feedback on anything you would like to see or that we are missing and by all means leave comments on the blog itself.Many Thanks,Ben and the Motum team. x Edited May 18, 2010 by Little Green Giant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little Green Giant Posted February 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 (edited) Family Saloon?I recently found myself looking at sensible family cars, these came in the form of Merc’s, BMW’s and naturally Audi’s. Quite a shock to the system I must say. So to counter act these crazy thoughts I decided to go and look at some examples of a more ‘VIP’ way of modifying and customizing...

Little Green Giant Posted February 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 (edited) Dirty Stancing The Mazda WayI used to have a serious dislike for Mazda MX5’s.
